Morning, just a flying visit, off out to view some carpet for the landing and hopefully find some lampshades the bare bulbs are driving me potty. Must away and finish getting ready.

Oh naughty spot, don't give him sympathy if he gets stomach ache :-D :-D :-D.

Bye for now, catch you all later <3

My goodness me I rule here again. Plump up cushions,place crown firmly on head and settle down for the evening :-D.

Happy bunny again oh boy what a match YAY. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Shove up LG! On second thoughts, you need to conserve your energy for 'encouraging' the floor laying tomorrow. ;-)

:-D :-D :-D. DET too right. We also have a visit to the cash and carry before we start on that. I had no luck with lampshades today so still bare lightbulbs. Hmmm nice :-|

Hopefully you have some ideas for the carpet.........and from the sound of it your team did well. Can't have all been bad!

Go to a charity shop for some dirt cheap lampshades. They'll do until you can find something you like. Or even shop on line??

Flipin fireworks going off again. Can't be Guy Fawkes night cos that's next Saturday, although someone mentioned Diwali - we've a large Asian minority in the area. Its supposed to be 26 Oct this year, but I suppose the weekend is easier for a lot of people who work.

evening all just in the throws orf unpacking washing etc I have a house full
naomi and Adam are here plus dog who wants to play with the cats they are not having any of it lol
house is in one piece A has washed and ironed etc so no moaning at all lol
had a really good break weather has been OK did not get wet will read the thread when life settles down tomorrow

Fireworks are a damn pain in the butt. In my view they should be kept to 5th November only and not sold to the public. I am not against proper organised events as they are safer and also you get more for your money. We have a big event going off next week end with all the profits going to our local childrens hospice the cost is only £15 for a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. Good value considering it costs about £15 for about 15 measely fireworks. There are some going of here at the moment and my cats are not happy moggies :-|

Over here we no longer celebrate Guy Fawkes night and firework sales to the public are banned without a permit. Occasionally we might have someone letting them off illegally, but it is a very rare occasion. All of our fireworks events are staged by companies. We have them for Chinese new year, sky show, and at the royal show.

Have not heard from OH yet. His phone is on message. It would be nice if he rang to tell me what is going on with his travel arrangements. I'll just keep ringing him and leaving rude grumpy messages on his phone. Ah just got through to him. Gave him the phone number he has to ring and he said I'll see you in a couple of days!!!

How on earth did the team pull that win off LG. I watched about fifteen minutes towards the beginning of the game and Chelsea were ahead and playing much better.

Hi Aunty, well I think the boss must have given them a good telling off at half time :-D.

I wish firework sales to the public were banned over here.

Hello Gooner extraordinaire..perhaps you should put up your Van Persie pin up again..........or is he scoring so many goals because you dropped him???? Cesc is but a distant memory........so fickle.....lol..

Derek.

Evening my friend Derek, hope you are well. Robins picture has always been on the wall in my office beside the one of Csec. What a result burn Chelsea Burn :-P :-P :-P.

it is like the blitz here lol

Oh welcome back Maz, I hope you are well and had a good time <3

thanks i snook on a while ago just trying to get through my emails and posts lol

I am flicking back and forth between here and my A******y tree

Ah ite nite all <3

Morning everyone and welcome back Maz. Pleased you had a good week and I'm sure you are delighted to be back!!! Good for A, keeping the washing & ironing down for you!!

LG, get your knee pads on ready for the floor laying!! That will keep you out of mischief for a while.

My cats are going to be nervous wrecks too over the next week or so. Permits would be a very good idea in the UK. The bonfire nights of old that I remember as a child are long gone.

Morning all, well if you are around that is :-S.

I shall now wander off singing my favourite song.

I'm the Killer Queen. Gelignite and Gelatine,Dynamite with my laser beam. Guaranteed to blow yoour mind ANYTIME!!!!!!!

There that should wake you all up or else bury your heads back in the pillow :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh no you are not LG!! Are your eyes still closed lol!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

I'm here! Quess who forgot that the clocks were going back??? :-0 :-D Never mind.

Welcome home Maz - that was a bit of poor planning having N arrive at the same time, but you must be pleased to see her. Glad you had reasonable weather darn suff.

Hope Aunty's OH can get alternative travel arrangements soon - will Quantas do the transfer, or other airlines accept his ticket? Its actually made the TV headlines over here now as it is affecting flights out of the UK. At least the flexible friend piece of plastic can keep a roof over his head in the meantime and he can probably find a budget shop for clean undies etc etc :-D

There a TV ads for some sort of herbal tranquilisers for animals. Have the cat lovers tried those? We used to have wonderful bonfire nights in my parents large garden, with Bonfire Soup afterwards. Unfortunately the recipe died with Mum :-( She used to hate the noise as it reminded her of the Blitz. We've never bothered with organised displays; they always seemed too expensive with 3 children, especially as Dad used to buy most of the fireworks.
